I just wanted to start a thread to discuss dream pain. The idea being to discuss actual discomforts felt, and the boundaries of what is possible to feel in a dream that is uncomfortable. Need not be limited to pain, just some form of discomfort. |

It has always amazed me how pain seems to be even worse in dreams that in real life, don't know if there's any reason for this or if anyone else experiences this too, but that's how it feels for me. Before being introducted to the whole world of lucid dreaming I used to have lots, well, LOTS, of nightmares and dreams in which I would die because of any reason. For example I remember being shot by a guard in a store in which I was robbing, or being killed by a giant spider which felt over my head when I was sleeping, being cut off by a giant sword in a cave by a faceless man... |

I like destruction and reality, and one invariably leads to the other.
'Dreams are real while they last. Can we say more of life?'
'We die to remember what we live to forget'
Good point about fear, it hadn't specifically crossed my mind but it certainly counts as a discomfort, and sometimes quite so. Maybe it didn't cross my mind because fear is so much more a common part of dreams, than flat out pain. |

I actually felt pain in my first lucid, when I was going down from floating or soaring i hit some stuff and it hurt, I think i woke up from that |

Lucid dreams make your dreams come true!!
I have had multiple dreams in the past (non lucid) where I experienced extreme pain in my mouth. I found out a month later when I went to a dentist (for a regular visit, not because of the dreams) that I had been grinding my teeth in my sleep. After getting a sleep guard for my mouth I haven't had any of those painful dreams. |

Creepy, just this morning I had a dream that a parrot bit my finger and it hurt like a motherf, and now I come here and find this thread, lol. Interesting. |

Most of the pain in my dreams is emotional pain. My dreams can be very emotionally hurtful. Physical injuries rarely give me pain in dreams. 'm aware I am injured but there is no pain with the injury. |
|
I have come to the conclusion, personally, that any experience IRL can be replicated in a dream. This idea based in large part on my perspective that "the real world" is simply, as I see it, another manifestation of consciousness, a form of dream. |

I've experienced physical pain in dreams many times, but only ever 2 types of pain. I've been shot multiple times (and wow does it ever hurt >_<) and I've been cut/sliced/stabbed with a sharp object, normally a knife or sword, which also hurt really bad. I've never experienced dream pain from falling and landing on something or anything else of the sort. Always being shot or stabbed, which sucks because they hurt SO BAD hah. |

Just the other day I was shaving my legs in a dream, and I cut my knee. It stung, similar to how it would in real life, just briefly. |
